These Photos of a Nude Woman in a Historic Mansion Are both Eerie and Erotic (NSFW)

The new photo series "Aude" is a collaboration between photographer Jeremy Ayer and graphic designer Julien Mercier. The photographs feature a nude woman wandering aimlessly around a historic mansion. The regal setting, complete with antique furniture, tapestries, and stone sculptures makes for an odd back drop for the pale, disillusioned mode.

The model, who often appears as a misplaced mannequin, alludes mystery with an expressionless face. "With her pale skin, her slender body, she represents a certain ideology of beauty, as dictated by contemporary magazines. But paradoxically, the raw image remains in a direct visual language, not constrained by commercial obligations. There is no digital manipulation which would withdraw all of her natural eroticism."
